1. An earpiece for use with a mobile device, said earpiece comprising: an earpiece body having a sound entrance, a sound exit and at least one internal aperture coupling said sound entrance and said sound exit; said earpiece body being integrally or monolithically formed in a case for said mobile device so that said sound entrance becomes operatively associated with a speaker of said mobile device so that a user can position said sound exit in or near said user's ear; wherein said mobile device comprises at least one integral or internal microphone that said user can speak into so that said user can position said mobile device next to said user's head and cause said sound exit of said earpiece body to become situated in or near said user's ear and said at least one integral or internal microphone of said mobile device becomes positioned in a speaking position in operative relationship with said user's mouth so that said user can speak directly into said at least one integral or internal microphone while said sound exit of said earpiece body is situated in or near said user's ear.

2. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said sound exit defines a protrusion or earpiece tip.

3. The earpiece as recited in claim 2 wherein said protrusion or earpiece tip comprises a protrusion shape that is adapted to complement said user's ear anatomy.

4. The earpiece as recited in claim 2 wherein said protrusion or earpiece tip comprises a protrusion support post integrally formed in said earpiece body and said protrusion or earpiece tip that is removable from said earpiece body that defines a protrusion shape, said protrusion or earpiece tip being adapted to be removably mounted on said protrusion support post.

5. The earpiece as recited in claim 4 wherein said protrusion support post protrudes from a surface of said mobile device to complement an anatomy of said user's ear.

6. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said earpiece body comprises a mounting clip for mounting on said mobile device, said mounting clip being adapted to be situated between said mobile device and said case for said mobile device to facilitate stabilizing or holding said earpiece in a predetermined position on said mobile device.

7. The earpiece as recited in claim 6 wherein said mounting clip is generally U-shaped and has a first wall having an aperture that defines said sound entrance.

8. The earpiece as recited in claim 7 wherein said mounting clip is generally U-shaped and has a second wall that generally opposes said first wall and a joining portion that joins said first and second walls, said first and second walls being flexible and elastic to permit said mounting clip to retain said earpiece body in operative relationship with a speaker of said mobile device.

9. The earpiece as recited in claim 6 wherein said mobile device comprises a first end and a speaker associated with said first end, said mounting clip being adapted and sized to engage and be mounted on said first end.

10. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said at least one internal aperture and said sound exit are configured to provide passive sound amplification.

11. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said earpiece has an active sound amplifier.

12. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said mobile device is a mobile telephone and said earpiece comprises a mechanical mount defining a clip for mounting on said mobile device.

13. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said earpiece body comprises at least one wing for providing support when said earpiece is mounted on said mobile device.

14. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said earpiece body has an aperture for permitting a camera or a sensor or other feature on said mobile device to function without interference with said earpiece body.

15. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said earpiece has at least one of an amplifier or a wireless system.

16. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said earpiece comprises a plurality of wings for facilitating stabilization of said earpiece.

17. The earpiece as recited in claim 1 wherein said earpiece body has a wall having an aperture that becomes aligned with a component of said mobile device when said earpiece is mounted thereon.
